    P0763 Shift Solenoid C Electrical Fault Code

    Going to do them all at the w/end. Can't believe I've had the car for 2 years now and it's been the best car I've ever owned for reliability. Just tyres and front brake pads. Then this went and happened! Fingers crossed it'll be fine again now.:rolleyes:

    P0763 Shift Solenoid C Electrical Fault Code

    Thanks sabc. I did download it last night, but can't open it!! Took off the boost pipes tonight and unplugged the cable that goes to the selector on the top of the gearbox. Reconnected and drives lovely with no faults!! Not sure what the problem was now, as I didn't try it before removing the...

    P0763 Shift Solenoid C Electrical Fault Code

    Hi All, Whilst I'm waiting for my slow connection to download the RAVE manual, has anybody experienced the above code? Today my wife did the school run, stopped on a hill and struggled to manouver and park. This is as I see it because it won't select 1st gear. The RAC man did a diagnostics...

    Automatics - rev counter question

    Hi SSL, Mine does the same, and here is my definition. 5th gear is an overdrive gear. I am therefore assuming that with most modern auto boxes having an overdrive gear, that the Torque Convertor is only used in 1st to 4th Gear. Once the car reaches top gear at approximately 44mph, the slip drive...

    TD4 Boost pipe part number

    Hi All, and Happy New Year. Can anyone help? I need to change the boost pipe that joins the Turbo to the steel pipe that runs along the back of the engine on my 2003 Freelander TD4. I have been to my local LandRover dealer, and they are pretty useless. The pipe I need is a single 90 degree...

    2003 TD4 wastegate actuator pipes

    Sorry for my ignorance, what and where is it? Just had a look at the old turbo I took off, and it looks as though the actuator may be vacuum operated, cos the actuator rod moves inward rather that normal boost ones moving outward scott

    2003 TD4 wastegate actuator pipes

    I've looked at where the pipes go today, and I'm confused. The pipes on my actuator solenoid are a follows. The vac one goes to the vac reservoir as I have previously called it. The out one goes to the wastegate actuator. The ATM one goes to an in line filter that is open ended. The other open...

    2003 TD4 wastegate actuator pipes

    Will do. One other thing I have noticed which is strange. If I drive home, and there is a long section with some up hill bits etc where I don't need to brake for some time. After a while being under more load (uphill), it starts to have a chattery whistle if that makes sense. Once I use the...

    2003 TD4 wastegate actuator pipes

    Sounds like I may have them right already then, but definately worth checking!! I only paid £3500 for the car. Its a 2003 TD4 Serengeti. The intention was to fix it, and sell it making a tidy profit, but once I drove it, I soon advertised and sold the Renault Scenic I had! The exhaust and...

    2003 TD4 wastegate actuator pipes

    Top man! That would be great. You may find the pipe markings hard to read in place,but if you describe from closest to the plug first, I could also follow that. One of my pipes is currently not connected to anything, and close by on the back of the engine by the bulkhead is a steel pipe with a...

    2003 TD4 wastegate actuator pipes

    Hi All,I've just bought a 2003 TD4 freelander. It had a blown turbo, and the previous owner couldn't afford to have it replaced.I have replaced it with a low mileage one I sourced locally. Can anyone identify where the 3 pipes go from the solenoid for the actuator. It is an auto model. The valve...
